Western Bulldogs vs. Brisbane

Saturday, Etihad Stadium 1:45pm, AEST

Despite dropping three of their first four games, the Lions have surprised some people with their solid form to start the year. The Bulldogs on the other hand are 3-1, but have not been totally convincing in their performances.

Expect the Dogs to dominate the Lions in this one, with their quality around the ground being too much for the Lions. However, one area where they might struggle is the forward line. Travis Cloke and Stewart Crameri are both out, while Tom Boyd has struggled for form. Brisbane's back six have been some of the most promising talent on their list, thus the Dogs may have a tough time finding goals.

Brisbane's lack of depth in the midfield could cost them. The top line talent of Rockliff and Beams don't quite have the support they need. Luke Beveridge's side has a plethora of options, who should run the Lions off their feet.

Tip: Bulldogs by 41
